Sorry to revive this, but is the fur that's growing in always dirty looking? The shaved doggies I know always grew back dirty. Like the undercoat collects dust and dirt. I was wondering if it's just what happens or if these people need to take better care of their doggies.. :rolleyes:

Does it look "dirty looking" to you?

The fur on her head looks darker, because the skin on her head is black. But it's not black anywhere else, except a little on her tail. Weird.

LOL I couldn't tell if it was dirty looking or not-- all you see clearly is the head, and I guess because of the black skin, it looks darker, but I was just wondering. I guess the doggies I know have to bathe their doggies more often. :D

I just noticed how big Raj is compared to Chloe. With Chloe looking smaller with no fur, the difference is huge!

I guess it's hard to answer your question, because Chloe is always dirtier than Raj, since she is outside a lot more. The undercoat is woolier, so it would make sense that it would hold the dirt and dust more than her overcoat (which is very slick).
So....maybe she IS holding the dirt more now. I'll have to pay closer attention after her next bath.

It's good to know because if doggies like Jemma, who is allergic to pollens, get shaved and the pollens stick to the exposed undercoat, it could make things much worse.

By the way, every time I see this thread has been posted in, I get my hopes up for more Raj and Chloe pics... :D

CF I still get the giggles every time I see Chloe, I'm happy to see her coat comming in. She kind of looks like a fox with her bushy tail. Raj your nails are too die for.

I think Chloe looks pretty good as a short-hair. Very dingo-ish! :D :p

Dingo-ish? I never saw that in her before, but now that you mentioned it- it's all I can see! LOL. You are right!
